Does anyone know if the policy has changed with going the the Chinese embassy in Seoul to obtain a visa? I plan to visit China late December and would like to just go to the embassy and get one. Do I have to go through a travel agent?
Thanks in advance!
Nov. 10,2009 20:56 Mr.John replied:
I think you still have to apply for the China visa through a travel agency if appying in Seoul.

My fiance and I will be moving to Hangzhou in February so that he can attend the university there where he will complete his graduate degree. He has been accepted at the university. I am planning on teaching English while he attends classes. We were not planning on purchasing round-trip tickets because we may move to a country other than the US when his program is over in July. We also were not planning on securing housing until we got there and could take a look around. It doesn't look like any of the visa options fit with what we want to do. What should we do?

I am American and wish to visit ShenZhen for 3 days and Dongguan or GuangZhou for 2 days. Few months ago I read from a webpage (can not find where is the webpage now) that American do not need to apply for entry visa. I booked my airticket arriving on November 4, 2009 and now read some website that have conflicting information that I need to apply Visa before I leave Los Angeles. I really do not like to go thru the trouble of applying the Visa so what do you think if I can enter ShenZhen and stay in ShenZhen for 5 days. Thank you for the reply.
